"I have had this truck for 4 years, purchased with 70K miles. It now has 150K and we are rebuilding the motor for the second time. We have also had problems with the radiator, A/C and front end. Truck gets terrible gas mileage and the interior plastic is cheap, dash has cracked, ash tray broke and sunglass holder will not close. I like the look and drive of the truck but it cost to much to keep on the road. My plan is to never own another Dodge."

"I almost bought this truck about 2 weeks ago until I took up a rare deal I just couldnt pass up. It has some war marks but mechanically it is sound and its a solid truck. As all used cars will my mecanic said down the road some things will need attention but thats something you cant get away from in any used car over 5 years old. So if you get this checked out and find some issues dont let that scare you away trust me on this, if you do you will never find a car. I highly recomend this truck and you wont be left with any expensive surprises. Its a great truck, drive it at highway spees and it couldnt drive any better. Its verry reliable and doenst require much. I say you should check this truck out."

"My husband wanted this truck new in 2002 because of it's awesome tough looks. We have the 5.7 with oversize 20" wheels, short-bed single-cab with chrome running boards - all in black with leather interior and tinted windows. It is the ultimate manly, power truck. It turns heads where ever it appears. You know, people are thinking, " Who is going to step out of that bad ride" It is supremely confortable for the passenger because of the excellent high bucket seats and spacious legroom. You couldn't have equal if you were sitting at home in your best chair. We have the slide-out steps that are invisible until the door is opened, which make entry and exit easy on this tall vehicle. We have the slick cap top on the back and a scratch free bedliner. I don't know how many times we have driven it to Walmart and returned with a full load of landscaping stones, mulch, and everything we need for a summers landscaping. But the reason I agreed to buy the truck in the first place was because of it size, weight and safety features. We paid extra for side curtain airbags for the head. I wanted the safest truck for defensive driving on the always dangerous roads full of big trucks and SUVs. Last year we were returning from Walmart at night when a huge deer took that very moment to leap from the hillside into the road right in front of us. Blam! Tall front grill and hood on Ram truck knocked deer into the median. Impact didn't even slow down the the truck. I am sure if we had been in a car of any kind or a smaller truck we would have been at great risk that the deer would have only been knocked off it's feet and into windshield. Replaced front grill and bent fender instead of teeth. Very good bargain."
